Course Expectations: Participation is both critical and mandatory for your success in this class. This class will require a high degree of self-motivation in order to be successful. Your journal entries will count as your attendance. You can miss three of these without penalty. With the fourth absence, your final grade will be lowered by one full letter grade. A fifth absence will result in failing the course. If you miss any classes, it is your responsibility to talk with your fellow students or myself to get caught up.

For our accreditation, it is essential that all Framingham State University credit courses follow the Federal Definition of credit hour: for every one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction, a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work is required. Since the summer courses meet for two contact hours daily (10 contact hours of classroom time weekly), the expectation is that students spend 20 hours per week doing out-of-class work. For the five week 4-credit course, this reflects 50 hours of classroom time and 100 hours of out-of-class time since the credit hour is defined as 50 minutes.
